Lottery Hits a Home Run with “Hit It Here” Orioles Promotion [VIDEO]

The Lottery has once again teamed up with the Baltimore Orioles for an exciting second-chance contest. Lottery players who mail in two non-winning Reese’s™ scratch-off tickets will have the chance to become a Fan of the Game.

Beginning June 4th, a Fan of the Game will be randomly selected for every remaining 2010 Orioles home game and will be announced during the top of the first inning on Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), the official television network of the Orioles. If an Orioles player hits a home run that hits the Maryland Lottery Hit It Here sign in centerfield, the Fan of the Game selected for that game will win $100,000. If a home run is not hit, or if an Orioles home run that is hit does not hit the Hit It Here sign, the Fan of the Game for that game will win $100 worth of Reese’s™ scratch-off tickets and entry into the Grand-Prize drawing. At the end of the promotion, a Grand-Prize winner will be selected to win a trip for two to Orioles Spring Training in Sarasota, FL. The drawing will take place on Wednesday, October 6th.

I am so disappointed with this scratcher and basically all MD Lottery scratchers. I have bought and played about 80 of these Reese’s scratchers and the biggest amount I have won is $5! Every other winner was $2 or $3…awful. I know the Ravens scratchoff was also terrible…bought dozens and won nothing. I think I will go to the pick three and four as these things are not good.

Eric: The Lottery launches a variety of scratch-off games per year with an assortment of price points, prize amounts, and play styles. Our goal is to offer a mix of tickets on the shelf that will appeal to everyone. Regarding the Ravens Cash Fantasy game, it was one of the most successful Maryland Lottery tickets ever. All three $1 million prizes were claimed, along with hundreds of experiential Ravens prizes.

I’m all for this contest. But the only thing that troubles me is that this may entice children to want to buy scratch offs. (I’m referring to the candy aspect of the game) Sure, sure, you have to be 18 and all, but surely you know that the vending machine type dispensers are used by everyone, including minors.

I love the MD Lottery, one day I’ll hit it big. I just don’t want to slide down the slippery slope that the tobacco industry did with Joe Camel.

Lord Sunder: We understand where you are coming from and strive to ensure that only those 18 and older purchase any game type.

The Lottery launches approximately 50 scratch-off games per year with an array of different price points, prize amounts and play styles. Our goal is to provide a diversified mix of tickets that appeal to individuals 18 years of age and older. Research and focus groups help determine which games will likely prove popular with our players.

It is also important to note that none of the Lottery’s marketing or advertising for this ticket has been directed to children or youth. Further, all of our events and efforts seek an adult target. Also, we work closely with our retailers to ensure that no Lottery product is sold to persons younger than 18. As with previously branded scratch-off tickets which might attract the interest of youth like Dubble Bubble Doubler and Ravens Cash Fantasy, our record is strong for maintaining the integrity of the Lottery.

I hope this has been helpful in addressing your concerns. Thank you for your note. If you have any additional questions or comments regarding the Lottery, please do not hesitate to write in again.
